The "Korean fried chicken" method and craze is taking off and this spot is up to the challenge. Numerous sauces to adorn your bird in and the establishment will let you sample as many as you like before making your final pick. I kept others in mind as my toddler isn't big on anything covered in sauce and neither is the misses so I got the GOLDEN ORIGINAL (plain bird) with honey garlic on the side. The side of sauce isn't that big and they charge $1.50 for it. The waitress told me that some not all of the sauces have to be made from scratch as ordered which maybe is a factor in the cost? I feel like if you order plain bird with sauce on the side then it should be free. I was curious about the CHEESELING FLAVOR, and didn't sample it beforehand so decided to get the CHEESELING fries instead. This was a unique tasting curiously DELICIOUS concoction. It's like a cheese powder that's sweet tasting that's dumped all over freshly fried French fries with a special red sauce and scallions. Think of that little corner of the bag of Smartfoods white cheddar popcorn powder at the bottom when you're all done and this is what it's like but sweet. I don't think I would've liked it sprinkled all over my chicken as it would've been overpowering yet good because they sprinkle a LOT on your food. Moreover there's a sort of sorcery and trickery with that CHEESELING powder. I noticed the next day when I went to reheat my CHEESELING fries this powder melts and turns into like a gooey cheese sauce and no longer remains in a powdery form! HARRY POTTER would be proud of this MAGIC! Overall it's a SOLID spot. I recommend trying different sauces and rolling your entire chicken order in that sauce as getting it on the side is slight ripoff because of the upcharge and little container. All the sides were good. Stellar customer service. Spacious with big booths and gloves to not mess up your hands while eating and TV's to boot. Last but not least no one in my group complained about any weird MSG feelings in their stomachs or what not like the OTHER COMPETITOR that's good also but in UPPER ARLINGTON if you catch my drift. This place is a MUST GO AND GIVE EM A TRY!!! We'll most definitely be back!

The rice bowl was the best, great tasting meat. The chicken I’m not sure what kinda cuts they used, we call it Frankenstein chicken, pieced together and not cook well.Sauces were good. First & last time going…CM chicken here we come!

Love Love Loved The Honey Garlic Tradition Wings ???
I drove past one day and seen this place and thought it would've been good place to try! So Sunday my fiancé and I was hungry so he wanted some chicken and we are trying new places and new things so we came here. He has never tried Korean food before so I told him he was in for a treat. The place is really nice. First thing I thought when I walked in was it looks like a sports bar there TV monitors on every wall that was playing K-pop. There are high tables booths in regular tables and then there was a bar. The menu is displayed on the TV monitors behind the bar and we were seated as soon as we entered the establishment. Our waiter was very young, but she was super sweet and nice. There was a little bit of a language barrier. We ordered wing dings (mostly flats) they can't do all flats which is a bummer! And we wanted whole wings! We tried the kimchi with rice and chicken and french fries. We taste tested four sauces! The Caribbean was nasty. We tried honey garlic, which was delicious. We tried the fire, which was good and I can't remember the last sauce. The chicken comes toss in the different sauces that you choose, but we asked to have the sauce on the side. The fries came out first and they don't tell you it's considered an appetizer. They was fresh hot and delicious but a little over cooked! We had to ask for ketchup and salt. Then my wings came out with no sauce. Then 20 mins later him food came out and it was wrong. We asked for whole wings and she gave up 50/50 whole chicken! We said this isnt what we ordered and she whispered she can't take it back. We asked "why she said "she just can't take it back" we looked confused! She walked away and we just asked for the check and containers and left! WE WILL NOT BE BACK! When we got the check we asked why was we charged for the sauce she said because it was on the side and not on the chicken! Wow! We paid and left.

OH MY GOODNESS!This place is under rated! By FAR some of the best chicken I have ever had AND all the sauce flavors for the wings are PHENOMENAL!DO NOT get more than a small size of wings, you WILL NOT be able to finish them.This is one of the only chicken places where the boneless wings are BIGGER than bone in. They are practically chicken tenders!PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give this place a chance, if not going to sit in, ORDER FOR TAKEOUT!Thank you for changing my tastebuds and heightening my standards for chicken!(this is not a joke or meme, truly one of the most exceptional food experiences i’ve ever had!)

Fantastic food! The secret sauce chicken was a tasty dish. I appreciated they offered gloves to ensure your hands would not get messy from eating generously sauced wings. Zach was also attentive and friendly to assist during my first visit, and will be looking forward to my next visit.

The wings are banging. Love the Caribbean wings. Good spice, and I love breading as well crispy!!!!
I’m so torn! Last week I would’ve gave a 5 star review. So my first time there was amazing chicken was fried to perfection.Let me start I’m a bon chon fanatic, provably been to 10 different ones and I thought this would be my fix without having to travel. Went today the crisp was not there. Still good sauce but I eat Korean fried for the crisp. I got 3 different flavors and boneless. Wings were good but not crispy more on the soggy side. Boneless was crispy but the wet batter under neath was still present and not cooked thru. First time I went this was not the case so I guess there’s inconsistencies in the kitchen which is a let down because I want to get that first time experience everytime. They’re a little pricey to gamble if my chicken is going to come out the way it should. This was my favorite Korean fried chicken in Columbus but after today I’m back on the hunt until they bring Bon Chon back ?

Wings very crispy, even after delivery. Fries are average, but an order would be enough for 2 to 3 people for $8. Prices are high...$18 for 8 wings, side of sauce. But worth it if you want some unique wings

Originally had this when I live in New Jersey and got super excited they opened one up right by my house. Got the soy chicken and it was hot and juicy and the flavors were on point. Got a side of dumplings that I enjoyed. Definitely will be back for more chicken and to try their other entre offerings.

Came in at 5pm on a Saturday. 2 adults and 3 children. 4 orders of wings, 1 order of fries, 1 order of corn salad, an order of rice, 2 beers, and a bottle of soju. Service was spot on. Lots of smiles and helpfulness. The decor is fine. The chicken... OMG THE CHICKEN! The wings are big, crispy AF, and extremely delicious. We tried 4 different sauces, and all of them slapped! I would drive an hour for this chicken. The crispy breading is fantastic. The meat all but melted. All the food came out PIPING hot, which I love. One thing I wish I knew going in, was that an order of fries is an entire fryer basket. All of us ate from one order of fries, and we took some home. The pricing seemed high, but most menu items are plenty for 2 people. I will be back many times to get more of these wings. Highly recommend! Flavored Soju is very approachable if you haven't tried it. Give it a shot (pun intended).Parking: On site free parking lot.

Worst experience I asked the waiters for hot sauce and was charged $1.50. I also asked the waitress to exchange my chicken as I only ate one but she had an attitude with me and didn't want to do it. Eventually she went to the manager and asked and he refused which was ok but I kept getting attitude from the waitress and no sympathy when I told her this was my first time and I probably order the wrong thing as everything didn't taste good to me.
